He would propose "The Health of his friend Bailie Nicol Jarvie"-- (loud applause)--and he was sure that when the author of Waverley and Rob Roy drinks to Nicol Jarvie, it would be received with that degree of applause to which that gentleman has always been accustomed, and that they would take care that on the present occasion it should be PRODIGIOUS! (Long and vehement applause.) Mr.MACKAY, who here spoke with great humour in the character of Bailie Jarvie .-- My conscience! My worthy father the deacon could not have believed that his son could hae had sic a compliment paid to him by the Great Unknown! Sir WALTER SCOTT .-- The Small Known now, Mr.Bailie.
Mr.MACKAY .-- He had been long identified with the Bailie, and he was vain of the cognomen which he had now worn for eight years; and he questioned if any of his brethren in the Council had given such universal satisfaction.

(Loud laughter and applause.) Before he sat down, he begged to propose "The Lord Provost and the City of Edinburgh." Sir WALTER SCOTT apologized for the absence of the Lord Provost, who had gone to London on public business.
Tune--"Within a mile of Edinburgh town." Sir WALTER SCOTT gave "The Duke of Wellington and the army." Glee--"How merrily we live." "Lord Melville and the Navy, that fought till they left nobody to fight with, like an arch sportsman who clears all and goes after the game." Mr.PAT.

ROBERTSON .-- They had heard this evening a toast, which had been received with intense delight, which will be published in every newspaper, and will be hailed with joy by all Europe.

He had one toast assigned him which he had great pleasure in giving.

He was sure that the stage had in all ages a great effect on the morals and manners of the people.
